First Win for the X4 on Race #4!

I finally get the win in the Main on my 4th race the X4!  No TQ this time though.  The night before I changed out my pistons from 2x1.6 / 2x1.7 to 2x1.5 / 2x1.6, to reduce the bouncing when landing the big jumps of the current layout at SDRC.  I guess it worked, as my fast lap and race times improved!

In Heat 1, I finished in 2nd with a 16:11, fast lap of 18.617, average lap of  19.497, and consistency of  96.80%.


In Heat 2, I finished in 1st with a 16:13, fast lap of 18.842, average lap of  19.570, and consistency of  96.88%.


Before the main I noticed that stripes of worn rubber were forming on all 4 of my tires.  I might need to toss these tires soon I guess, but for now I'm not noticing any change in grip on the track.  These have been excellent slicks!  I may need to pick up some new in package clay compound slicks from Raw Speed for my next set of tires!  Still have a bunch of older tires to burn through and toss though.


I qualified 2nd for the A Main and managed to win the race after the leader crashed early in the race.  First win for the 22 X4!  I finished with a 16:12, fast lap of 18.422, average lap of  19.431, and consistency of  96.52%.
